Trolling/baiting again i see. What a surprise.

Yes,quite. One or two posters conspicious by their absence. :)

My interpretation of Boonen's comments pre Eneco were that he wanted a stage win for his confidence before the Worlds,higher class field than recent races he's won at.If there's any risk involved in the sprint he will back off,its not a secret he feels this way,its a matter of record for the...

Re: Re: Because he's paid to race.

Liggett is dreadful,his defence of LA when it was obvious to everyone bar him that he was guilty was a shocking error of judgement for someone who has been involved in cycling all his life,it should have procluded him from any further work commentating IMO. To call it a "witchhunt" against LA...

Re: Boonen by his own admission has never felt comfortable in large bunch sprints since Suisse 2010 crash with Cav/Haussler.Doesn't mean he can't win an odd one but not really his thing these days which is understandable.

Would seriously doubt its even possible. Gilbert out of everyone stood the best chance but even then i don't think he could win Roubaix.

Valverde and Gilbert spring to mind here,both former winners and both in form. I like this race too,was there when Gallopin won,San Sebastian is uber cool. :cool:

Tejay will hopefully do well at Vuelta so got my vote. Talansky after last year's TDF i hoped would do something amazing this year even if only a stage win but that didn't work out obviously although came mighty close at Pra Loup.

Re: Really interesting numbers. More to come from Bobby G!

Re: Immediately after Le Tour i thought exactly this. What does his CV show,excellent stage racer for GC,Oman winner,TOC winner,2nd in Tirreno after Evans,two nice top 10's at TDF,is he ever likely to win a GT,probably not barring some strange circumstances so far better as he gets towards...

Hi Dekker Tifosi. I've been looking closely at Gesink's palmares today,what do you think will be both his own and his team's expectations over the next three years?

Re: That's how i took his comments too,he was kinda saying look what a strong team they are and next year with Landa and Kwiatek added.

Underwhelming GT. Think the Giro was so good that Le Tour was up against it from the off but it still disappointed. Felt genuine enjoyment watching one or two stages but overall it was a mediocre race,GC over after first week and IMO some of the stages lacked imagination.
